Before You Begin

Before using this guide, you must complete the following procedures:

• For a new router:

-- Install the router (refer to the installation manual that came with your

router).

-- Connect the router to the network and create a pilot configuration file (see

Quick-Starting Routers, Configuring BayStack Remote Access, or

Connecting ASN Routers to a Network).

• For all routers:

-- Add the appropriate WAN circuits for the router’s hardware modules (see

Configuring and Managing Routers with Site Manager).

-- Make sure that you are running the latest version of Bay Networks Site

Manager and router software. For instructions, see Upgrading Routers

from Version 7–11.xx to Version 12.00.

Conventions

bold text

Indicates text that you need to enter, command names,

and buttons in menu paths.

Example: Use the

dinfo

command.

Example: ATM DXI > Interfaces > PVCs identifies the

PVCs button in the window that appears when you

select the Interfaces option from the ATM DXI menu.

italic text Indicates variable values in command syntax

descriptions, new terms, file and directory names, and

book titles.

quotation marks (“ ”) Indicate the title of a chapter or section within a book.

screen text Indicates data that appears on the screen.

Example:
